What were your first symptoms or signs?

I have all the signs but keep thinking my period is coming very soon especially with all this cramping.

How could you tell the difference between early pregnancy or pms?

I had period cramps and sooo thought I was about to come on my period but I was actually pregnant, I had on and off very subtle period cramps but now they're gona and I think I'm 5 weeks

Any other symptoms to go with the cramps? When did you do a test or get your first positive?

No just cramps about a day or 2 before I tested positive. My first positive was very early, about 7dpo and extremely faint on a cheap strip test

My mood was much more upbeat than it usually is before my period. Also the fatigue was on just an advanced level. The weirdest symptom though that made me test was when the lower half of my arms were numb and tingly, which happened early on in my first pregnancy.

i’m 8dpo today and just got a faint positive! i’ve had mild cramping, fatigue and random spots on my face so far. i also just had a strong gut feeling

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
